There is only one Farm Girl in Notting Hill :) yes and that Farm Girl has arrived to the UK from down under Australia. Well...I did not mean an actual farm girl, but the hip Portobello Cafe :) I really like that place! Such a great location and even the previous cafe (Charlie's) was a cutie and one of my favourite. And Farm Girl carried on with similar vibe and brought more hip and fresh into west London!
They are a real gem if you are around Notting Hill! Perfect spot for a coffee before exploring the market or having a brunch! Please note it's normally busy, but anytime I have been there, we always found a table!Their menu is a booster! They use tasty fresh ingredients to prepare their yummy, colourful and healthy dishes with lots of different superfoods to sprinkle on too!
Go check them out this weekend! :)

Hello my lovelies!
Thought to give a tiny bit of update that exams are done! I think it went well, but we just received an email, that we need to wait nine weeks to get our results...I don't know what they are doing, but this is insane...last year was not this bad.
But, I hinted some news that there will be a big news in my life, which I wanted to share :) So it's springtime! It's time to start something new! And yes! in couple of weeks time I am in a new position at work! Technically, I still be at the same company, but changing the team, the seat, the tasks and the latter one will be totally different! New challenges, which I was thriving for! And finally I can say everything happens with a reason...and so far anytime I have been let down in my career...I somehow always ended up in a better position! I am still way behind compared to my friends! But this job will allow me to learn so much new things and finally I see that all the studies and exams I have been doing, are now recognised and will help me! Plus I will be able to learn more and more and eventually grow and develop my skillset further! Can't wait to start! The only thing is to leave the teammates...but we won't be that far in the office, so hopefully we will still keep in touch!
Wish me luck in the new position and I am hopeful I will deliver the standard I shown in my current role, with recognition!
When we took the pictures I already knew I will have the new position and you can see I am so happy!!!
Go get on girl!! Nothing can stop me now!!
Have a lovely week you all! :) xx

Happy Sunday :)
Do you have plans? Well if not, here is one! Why don't you go down to central London's newest instagram paradise Ole & Steen? It seems the new hype in London is Scandi furniture, Scandi clothes, Scandi design, Scandi everything and now even foodie, especially pastry! Of course we have now 'hygge' and London has been flooded recently with many Scandinavian restaurant and pastry shops and for our luck the newest edition is Ole & Steen from Copenhagen, now at Haymarket and a new one will open soon in Richmond too!
I visited, not only because I am a Scandi fan myself and learn the language and all things Scandi, but because a Nordic Tv series fan page was suggested an annual fan meeting there and because my best friend George recommended it too! And yes...whoever I took to the place was well amazed by the place...its minimalist style, its cleverly arranged seating area to accommodate more people and of course the scrumptious cakes, pastries and delis. Yummm! Well first you may not get your head around of the system of ordering, but it's pretty simple and clever too! Go in, grab a number, then wait for your turn. :) Just like in banks and post offices in some countries, and then once its your turn you can just order and pay at the same person.
I very much would recommend the Christianshavner cake or the Mini Layer Cake! But whatever you will go for, whether it be sweet or savoury, your tastebuds will be satisfied!
Now enjoy the pictures and don't just yet start drooling over! :)

About me

Hello dear Sentimental! :) I am Sonja (Iza) from a small village living in the big city of London! I love traveling! I love eating delicious food, going for a cocktail in a rooftop bar, to an exhibition or just wandering in the city finding (street)art and taking photos of all things I like!
Maybe because of my starsign, I love all sentimental things! That's how my blog started as being Sentimental. And why Berlin? Because of special people in a special city, made me love Berlin besides London! That's how Sentimental in Berlin was born! :) But...and yes! Big but. I live in London and in this blog I try to show my London and my World to you through my journey!
